Excellent Wendy. Hope it's roach free. If not, you can get roach baits at the supermarket... Get the ones which take the poison/bacteria back to the nest and that way you kill off the whole lot. Much better.

Well what can I say about Australia !!

It's cold, wet and just great :D

My Aunt has been an absolute star, driving us all over the place looking for houses and cars. We have two houses to look at tomorrow and are going car hunting on Friday.

Adelaide is a lovely city and not at all like we were expecting it to be. My hubby said it'll be nice when it's finished :D

Caravan park is nice, but the computer has been broken until now, which is why I've not been on before now.

Will be back with a better update when I've got my house and things sorted out.

Be afraid Adelaide be very afraid!

Re: Hello from the other side

Right guys, I'll attempt to answer you all :o

Got to Adelaide on Friday 7th July, it was a bit cold but we slept most of the first day (and the next three :rolleyes: )

Caraven park Ok, but would have prefered not to share with the creepy crawly's!. Was really chuffed to get the second rental we applied for. Put in the form on Monday and had the house on Tuesday. All we provided was a reference from my FIL and a bank statement. Not sure which one did it, but don't care. We have a lovely 3 bed house in Mawson Lakes (which is just gorgeous) for $280 a week. And the best thing - NO ANTS OR ROACHES :D

Went to see about schools last week, little girls on Wednesday - she started Friday and the older lads on Friday and he started Monday. Was asked by both schools which year we felt they should go in, so no problems there. Both have settled really well and for the first time ever my son likes school. They have made friends already at school, both English and Australian and my daughter has a Japanese friend too.

It was so much fun shopping for furniture :D All lovely new stuff, trouble now is that the kids have to sleep in the garage (only kidding ;) ) It's not too expensive and you can get some real bargains when you shop around. Especially if you you're paying in cash.

Not much else to tell really except that I feel like I've come home :)

Omg Wendy, that brought a tear to my eye! I'm so happy for you :)

Dale is really really keen to check out Adelaide, even though we loved Perth he has a niggle that he needs to see some more.

I want to hear more!!!!
